Uses For A Disposable Pie Tin

After listing uses for duct tape, clothes pins and a safety pin I found myself wondering what to do next. And then it hit me - why not the under-utilized pie tin? Here are some ideas I came up with; please share yours by commenting below.

Pet water/food dish

Emergency singling device (flashing it in the sun like a mirror)

Emergency pan for cooking

Bowl /plate to eat from

Put one in the bottom of a Dutch oven to save cleaning time

Cheap way to do self-serve food when camping, on a picnic, at a party, etc

Cover food up to keep it warm and keep bugs out

Garbage bowl: fill with the rubbish you produce while cooking

Use in the bottom of a solar still to collect the water

Use a pan for gold panning in a stream

Shovel for a young child on the beach

Turn it into a boat to float on a pond

Frisbee

Use as target in rock toss game

Part of a costume

Put in tent /rv to hold small things like coins, watch, keys, etc

Turn into a mask

Decorate several and hang from a string to make a mobile

Center piece - fill with rocks/sand and place a candle in the middle

Put behind a candle to reflect more of the light forward

Poke holes in it to use as a dry goods sifter or as a colander in a pinch

Make a potpourri pie; put potpourri in the tin, cover with strips of tan felt, staple/glue the felt to the tin, sprinkle cinnamon on the felt.

Child’s instrument: fill with rice, beans, small bells, etc. Attach another tin to the top and shake.
